Abstract

On the night of April 11, 1984, the cyclone “Kamisy” struck the northern part of Madagascar. Because of the alarming reports from the disaster area, the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies decided to send a disaster stand-by team. The results of the survey of the disaster area and the medical assistance are discussed. Attention is also given to the objectives of the disaster stand-by team.
